Resonance is used to set the amount of emphasis around the cutoff
frequency. Higher settings create a more pronounced peak in the signal
while lower settings produce a flatter response.
Tracking is used to control the degree to which the filter tracks the signal's
frequency.
Env is used to set the degree to which the filter's envelope effects the
signal. Setting Env to 0.00 means that the envelope has no effect on the
filter. Setting Env to 1.00 means that the filter is modulated by the
envelope's full range.
The Envelope Direction button is used to set either a positive or negative
envelope shape. This can be used for a range of effects including opening
the filter when a note is released (this is impossible with a non-inverted
envelope).
The Vel (Velocity) control is used to set the degree to which the filter's
cutoff frequency is modulated by the note-on velocity of the MIDI input
signal.
Comb Filter
The Comb Filter is a new addition to the Albino 3. This filter introduces
gaps in the frequency spectrum, a bit like the teeth on a comb. These gaps
repeat in constant frequncy steps. If, for example, you set the filter's Cutoff
frequency to 400 Hz, you will introduce gaps (similar to those produced by
a notch filter) at 0 Hz (!), 400 Hz, 800 Hz, 1200 Hz, 1600 Hz, and so on.
The Resonance control introduces a feedback path that leads to a
pronounced peak around the cutoff frequency.
The Comb filter contains several parameter controls. These are: Stereo,
Cutoff, Res (Resonance), Track (Tracking), Env (Envelope Depth),
Envelope Direction and Vel (Velocity).
